Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Purpose , structure and operational principles of feedback as well as feedforward control systems ; PID control ; implementation of controllers, simulation  Idea of Multivariable control   
2. Modelling and simulation based on ODEs, block diagrams, transfer functions , inverse Laplace transform.  Physical modelling based on material etc. balances, state space models, model concepts  Matlab including Simulink and Control System Toolbox. Matlab programming and documentation of figures. 
3. Understanding and description of phenomena associated with stability, stationary responses as well as transient responses using various models. Effects of feedback control.  Analysis using a state-space model. Analysis of non-linear control systems through simulations.   
4. Coping with uncertainty: analysis and design of sufficient degree of stability as well as analysis of sensitivity with Bode and Nichols diagrams.  Nyquist diagrams in analysis.   
5. Design of step responses using frequency response methods and root locus.     


Evaluation criteria for the course
